A sturdy, contrasted sans with clean, largely straight-sided construction and tightly controlled curves. Vertical strokes dominate, with noticeable thick–thin modulation that reads clearly in letters like C, S, and e, while counters remain open and well-shaped. Terminals are mostly square and blunt, giving the face a crisp, engineered feel, and round forms (O, o, 0) lean toward vertical ovals rather than perfect circles. Spacing appears even and text rhythm is steady, supporting dense setting without losing clarity.
Best suited to headlines and subheads where its crisp terminals and stroke modulation can provide emphasis without resorting to decorative details. It also works well for branding and editorial layouts that need a modern, confident sans with a bit of typographic character, and can handle short text blocks when set with comfortable spacing.
The tone is modern and assertive, combining a no-nonsense sans structure with a slightly dramatic stroke contrast that adds editorial punch. It feels confident and contemporary rather than playful, suited to messaging that needs to look clear, strong, and intentional.
The design appears intended to deliver a straightforward, contemporary sans voice while introducing measured contrast for extra presence at larger sizes. It aims for high-impact clarity—clean outlines, open counters, and a disciplined rhythm—so it can function both as a strong display face and as a purposeful accent within text-forward layouts.
Uppercase forms read compact and sturdy, while lowercase keeps simple, familiar shapes with a single-storey g and a compact, high-contrast e. Numerals are clean and legible; the 1 is a plain vertical, and curved digits like 2 and 3 show the same controlled modulation seen in the letters. Overall, the design balances functional signage-like clarity with a refined, display-friendly edge.
